John slapped my bottom playfully and told me to go andhave a shower while he popped down to the reception topick up some supplies. When I got out of t...e showerJohn was sitting on the balcony, he had a large carrierbag from what was laughingly called the hotel boutique.I stepped out on to the balcony with a bath towelwrapped around my body.
